Today, at the gas station I work a lady called wanting to know the "password" and if I was okay. Thinking it was a prank I hung up. A couple of minutes later she called back, this time asking if I could see the cops outside and telling me I'd be alright. I saw four of 'em. I'd hit the silent alarm by accident. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I accidentally set off an alarm at the school I work for. No one was there, I didn't have the code or password the company needed, my boss wouldn't answer his phone, three policemen interrogated me and asked for ID, but realized I left home without my wallet. There was nothing I could do. I cried. FML
Today, I ran into the woman who hit my car and drove off three days ago. She was my bank teller. I called 911; she pressed the silent alarm. Guess whose story the cops believed. FML
Today, I accidentally pressed the panic button under the register at work. I didn't even know we had a panic button until the cops showed up. FML
Today, I saw my car being broken into on the street below my apartment. Too scared to stop them myself, I called the police. Before I could even tell them what was going on, they put me on hold. It was a good 5 minutes before I realized they'd hung up on me. FML
Today, I woke up at three in the morning when two cops busted in the door to my apartment and a frantic voice on my cellphone saying "Sir? Sir? Are you all right? Sir?" Turns out I had been having a nightmare and dreamed I called 911. I actually did. FML
Today, I had the cops called on me for acting suspiciously. I was using a payphone. FML
Today, I woke up early for work. Had my coffee, finished up a report and headed out of my house. Not only was the office closed today, but the silent alarm was on, which is triggered by a door opening even if you use a key. I was startled by the cops searching the building, ran, and got tased. FML
Today, I found a mysterious button under my desk at work and pressed it out of curiosity. It was the emergency panic alarm. Within five minutes, security, my manager, and then two confused police officers were asking if I was OK. I just wanted to know what the button did. FML
Today, I hit a parked car and fled because I was so scared. Four hours later, the cops showed up at my house so I broke down crying confessing everything. Turns out, they weren't there about the car I hit. They were alerting me about the string of burglaries in my neighborhood recently. FML
Today, the police came to my door and told me about a woman who called the cops on me because she said that I had been following her in my car. We were on the highway. FML

haha that reminds me of when I accidentally called 911 when I was 7, and quickly hung up. the dispatcher called back, asked if I was ok and no matter how much I tried to explain it was a mistake, she said "sweetie there's an officer on the way to you. only open the door to a police officer in uniform..." like I was some helpless little girl. lol

Lol something similar happened to my boyfriends aunt at her work. Only she didn't know what the button was for and no one answered her when she asked so she pushed it and got a call then realized the place was surrounded

wow people are stupid.. the BUTTON is placed somewhere so incase they get robbed they can hit it from the normal place they stand..they get hit all the time. and in ref to the 911 calls if they didnt come and some one was really in trouble .. the cops would be liable. When ever some one is breaking into a house and the person who is in trouble calls 911 do you think the subjects are gonna answer the phone to 911 and be like yeah im robbing /raping/ and killing them right now.. hurry on and get over here before its too late. ? no.. they say everything is fine because they dont want leo to come.

I've done something like that before. did you notice how long it took them to get there? maybe that'll come in handy when you're robbed.

I would have a shitfit at my manager for not explaining proper procedure. What if you were really being robbed? I hope the store had to pay out the wazoo for the response to the false alarm.

I would die if this happened to me! But it's true, I work at a petrol station and my first day I was told about the hold-up button, it's the first thing I was told
